This site from the University of Saint Andrews shows the involute of a circle graphically and gives brief history. Cartesian equation is given.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson is more about student prediction and reasoning than actual formal math. In the lesson, students are to propose the shape that would be formed by a point on a bicycle tire, while...

Students examine a special case of parametric equations called Lissajous figures. Definitions, graphs, and detailed examples are included.

Excellent personal site! Gives the complete history of the astroid and has lots of pictures, graphs, and even videos!

This site has many useful formulas and examples relating to circles, including related definitions, circumference of a circle, area of a circle, length of a circular arc, area of a circular sector, equation of a circle in cartesian...
